POETRY OF THE PERIOD.
To-rTorrow,s Fortunes.

Ny Dreams like ships that went to sea,
And got becalmed in SUMMER Chimes
No more returned, are lost to me,
Faint echoes of those hopeful times:
And have learned, with doubt expressed
TEeIe are no birds in next years next.
The seed is sowed in balmy spring,
The summers sun TO witty,
With his warm kisses ripeniDg
To golden harvest by and by,
Got caught by drought like all the rest
There are no birds in next years nest.
The stock bought at eighty-nine
Broke down at once to twenty-eight;
Some squatters jumped my silver mine,
My own convention smashed my slate;
No more in futures I'll invest
There are no birds in next gears nest.

or ridiculed as Clancy" or city farmers,
such men often do good work. Often
times they have q sincere desire to
help the agriculture of the surround
ing country, as we'll as to get pleasure
or profit for themselves from their
farms. 1t is as absurd to ridicule or
pity man of wealth who finds pleas
ure in expanding q few thousands OF
dollars on his farm over its receipts,
as to ridicule his neighbOr who chooses
to build costly residence, or to own
fine yacht or a pair ofnoted trotters.
The improved stock Or varieties Of
grains introduced by the "city farmer"
may prove OF great value to the COM
munity, even if he suffer less.
It is quite in the probabilities, how
ever, that in the way of direct stimu.
lus to better farming, most is done by
the men who manage their farms from
purely business standpoint; who
insist that their farms shall "pay" in
dollars and cents; who adapt build
ings, stock, crops and culture to the
circumstances of the country, rather
than to any ideal standard of ''show
farming"
There is room for many "model
farms" in the country; farms to be
copied, rather than to be visited as
show places. There are many such
many managed by practical farmers;
some by city men. To many success

ess by its roots which penetrate q
great distance and thus tighten up the
soil. 1t is disputed question wheth-
er the blowing in of clover is the most
satisfactory and economical method
of enriching the soil, but the practice
is quite common in many localities.
Nobody has seen ground narrowed
too much as preparation for wheat,
for it is hardly possible to get too fine
filth.
In setting posts a farmer states
that where great solidity is required,
gravel and small stones should be
thrown in the hole after the posts are
in position, and lime and sand mortar
poured in on the stones, which pro.
tects the posts, as well as keeps them
firm.
It is the opinion of Sir j. B. Lawes,
whose opinions upon such matters are
entitled to and receive much weight,
that the best time to cut grass, either
for hay or ensilage purposes, is when
the majori5y of grasses are in flower.
He thinks nothing is gained by wait
ing longer, his reason for such belief
being that in case of most of the
grasses the seed formed is exceedingly
light and the food which it contains is
excessively small.

Where Pipes are Made.
From the Tobacco

Ruhla, q mountain village of Thur
lngla, Is the center of the pipe manu-
tacture OF Germany. Like Sheffield,
England, it was famous in the Middle
Ages for it's arms and armor, and at q
subsequent period for it's knives. When
the use of tobacco became common
in Europe it turned it's attention to
the fabrication of iron smoking pipes
Gradually, however, beginning in the
seventeenth century, meerschaum and
wood were adopted as more suitable
materials to work upon. The first
meerschaum pipe was carved in the
early part of the thirty years war,
and Wallenstein is said to have bought
it. The true clay is to be procured
only at Eski-Scher, in Asia Minor,
where there are large deposits, and
whence it is sent direct to the manu-
factories at Ruhla, of which there are
at present forty, employing almost
the whole population of the district.
The number of pipes, and other ar
ticles dear to smokers, turned out, is
enormous, the yearly average being
$4,000 ZEAL meerscheums, varying
IN price from six cents to $50 each;
100000 imitation meerschaums, at
from twenty-five cents to SIS per
dozen; 8, 900, OOOporcelain pipe bowls,
either plain white OF gaiiy painted,
ranging in price from eight cents to
$3.50 per dozen; 100000 wooden
pipes of infinite variety in size, form
ornamentation, and price, the COM
mon kinds being extremely cheap,
and those artistically carved fetching
a comparatively high price; 3, OOO,O 900
bowls of clay or lava, plain, at about
six cents, and of better kinds at
seventy-6ve cents per dozen; 15,OO0,-
600 pipes composed of separate parts
(bowl, stick, cover, etc.,, from ten
cents to $1.25 per dozen. There are
five qualities of meerschaum used in
the making of pipes. The best is
known by it's facile absorption of the
nicotine juice of tobacco, which grad
ually develops into q rich brown blush
upon the surface, and when this
process is we'll advanced the pipe be-
comes almost invulnerable without
being hard. A specimen of this kind
sold at Vienna for $3.50, although it
was not very highly carved.

A Big Story by Science.
From the London Times.


The extreme delicacy of the sense Of
smell in man has been shown by g.
series Of interesting experiments by
Messrs. Fischer and Penzoldt. In an
empty room of some $50 cubic metres
capacity and tightly closed, a small
quantity of the particular substance
to be detected was thoroughly mixed
with the air and the observer then
admitted. Among the different SUBJ
stances which were tested in this man.
ner it was found that the very small
est amount recognizable was .O1 of g.
milligram of mercaptan. This guam
tity diffused through the room suf-
feed to make it's distinctive character
appreciable in the small volume of air
coming in contact with the nerves of
the nose, from which it wa estimated
that the ], 100000, OOOtp milli-
gram of this substance was recogni-
zable-an infnitesimal quantity, pass
ing conception, but which science
declares to be q fact.

Measuring Sunshine.
From the Manchester Examiner.

From the Manchester Examiner
There was time, not many years
ago, when the sun might shine and
shine with all it's might, and yet leave
no scientific record of it's presence be-
yond the effect of mere heat shown
by thermometer. Nowadays all this
is changed, and there are scattered
over various portions of the country
instruments which catch every gleam
of bright sunlight and write it down
indelibly, so that by looking at the
picture presented we may see at
glance whether such and such q day
was really fine Or cloudy. The con-
trivance by which this is effected is
exceedingly simple, consisting as it
does of nothing more than solid
glass ball set on q PEDESTAL with g.
surrounding frame in which to place
at a suitable angle q little strip of
blue card board. The glass ball plays
the part of burning glass, and when
the sun shines brightly the rays are
focused upon the strip of cardboard,
where the effect is seen in @ scOfched
patch of more or less distinctness. As
the relative position of the sun changes
the scorch changes too, so that at the
end of bright sunny day the picture
on the card consists of 6. long scorch-
ed line. By measuring CHS line we get
a record of the number of hours SUM-
shine prevalent during the day. The
instrument, although commercially
simple, has one great drawback. If
the brllliancy o. the suns rays be
shrouded even to very small extent
by mist or by g. thin veil of cirrus
cloud, the heat produced is insufficient
to produce a burn on the card.

Danger Of Eating CLAIMS.
From the Chicago Journal.

ran across my friend, the Doctor,
again to-day, and this is what he said
singular, isn't it, that ex-President
Arthur and Henry Ward Beecher
should both go to heaven by the clam
route? What an epitaph: Died OF
eating CLAIMS = Beecher was very
boastful of his digestive apparatus,
and used to say: L pity anything that
gets into my stomach ohe thought
that, at the age of "a, a. supper OF
baked CLAIMS was the proper caper.
The result is that those six CLAIMS cost
this nation at least ten years of his
cheering presence and invaluable Ia
bors. One great secret of good health
is light suppers. There are some peo-
pie whose digestion during sleep is very
good, but with most of us digestion
and sleep are incompatible. IF we
load our stomachs at supper time we
can count on cerebral congestion, with
nightmare, which results from @ dis
tension of the blood vessels of the
brain. The rupture of these blood
vessels is apoplexy. A state OF sleep
which involves stupor, accompanied
with troubled dreams and an oppres-
sion of the breath, is incipient apo
plexy. | know of no better way to
bring it on, if g. person enjoys that
kind Of sleep, than to eat CLAIMS for
supper, especially baked CLAIMS. Gut
ta-percha pancakes or sole-leather
sandwiches might do; but if certain
and satisfactory results are desired,
baked CLAIMS are what one should eat,
and he should eat them for supper"

The Esquimau Dog Likes Gold.
From the Washington Pos

General A. w. Greedy opened the
course of Saturday afternoon lectures
at the National Museum yesterday
talking on the animals of the Arctic
Region" He corrected many popular
misapprehensions in regard to the
animals of the Arctic region. The size
and ferocity of the polar bear has
been much exaggerated, and he char
acterized it as the most cowardly
member of the bear family. He de-
scribed the Arctic fox, the wolf. hare,
musk OK, and the ermine, with it's
coat of pure white fur in the winter,
changing in summer to a. primrose
yellow, intermingled with browns and
chocolates of indescribable beauty.
Arctic animals seemed perfectly in
different to the cold, and even when
the thermometer registered 20 and
rs degrees below zero the Esquimau
dogs could not be prevailed upon to
remain indoors.

HMOdel Farms -

At recent meeting of few gentle
men directly interested in agricultural
education in this country, there was a
conversation concerning what was
the best ideal of management Tor the
farms connected with the State Agri-
cultural colleges. The Importance of
experimentation was fully recognized.
Aside from this, however, it was shown
that there was debatable ground as
to methods of making these farms
most helpful as examples.
There is force in the argument that
farm belonging to g. great state
should be an example of the finest and
most attractive style of farming
known; that the buildings and all ap-
pointments should be spacious, ele.
CANT and beautiful; that thelive stock
should be of the very highest type;
that the fields should not show weed.
On the other hand, there is great force
in the statement that such g. farm,
however attractive and beautiful,
would not be helpful as an example;
that students and farmer visitors alike
will regard it simply as a ''show place"
well enough for the State or q million
aire, but useless as an example for
imitation.
Those who take this view claim that
the most valuable "model" or "exam-
pie" farm is one that presents q good
specimen of the most profitable and
desirable farming for the region in
which it is situated; that it's buildings,
live stock, system of cropping, should
be such as would lead student or a
visitor to pronounce the MANAGEMENT
common sense, practical and profta-
BILE; that, especially, the accounts
should show q good proft-of course
outside of the cost of experimental
work, which is necessarily expensive.
To this line of statement the response
is made; that if the ''show farm
brings criticism, the good, plain, mon
ey-making management brings still
more; that it will be claimed that the
state ought to have a better farm,
better cattle, and produce better crops,
than any private farmer can afford.
A class which receives less credit
than many of it's members deserve is
composed of men who, having accumu.
lated or inherited wealth, have also
